Very easy and a great use for the bit of leftover mashed potatoes you may have. I loved how the potstoes and cheese thickened the soup just right. The recipe really rides on how good and well-seasoned your mashed potatoes are. I use garlic, butter, sour cream, s & p in mine. I wouldn't use instant mashed for this recipe. Thanx for a yummy soup!

I love to cook healthy food for my family & especially enjoy making large quantity freezer meals for our meal swap! I also enjoy meal planning/cooking when we go on vacations.
